Rebranding

I’ve decided to take this blog in a different direction and have added a new tagline: Muddling through Retirement. I plan to write about the ups and downs, challenges and opportunities of being retired.

Today is Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. My husband and I really love New Orleans. His favorite place to stay was Hotel Monteleone . It is quite elegant, the kind of hotel with a lot of marble and gold bathroom fixtures. The bar is built on a giant turntable and revolves, and there is a swimming pool on the roof. Naturally it is quite pricy.

On our most recent trip several years ago, we sought a more reasonably priced place to stay and discovered Place d’Armes. It is located steps from Jackson Square and has tons of old world charm.

As is tradition, we will be having pancakes for dinner tonight. Here is a cooking tip: a waitress at a diner once told me the secret to making delicious pancakes is to add vanilla. She’s right.

I’d love to hear what you think of my “re-brand.” Please leave me a comment.
